Love is in the air at Whistley Dene! People we support spent Friday decorating their home ready for a Valentine's Disco on the weekend. Have a look at the brilliant job they did...

"We're grateful to #KingswoodTownCouncil and its Community Grants scheme for enabling us to buy a new tricycle. It's already proven popular - even in winter - with some keen riders making the most of its smooth steering and pedalling."

Our resident chess master Elvis has found a new opponent!♟️

Elvis loves chess and has been looking for other players to take on. Enter John, a keen player who moved into the Trust recently. 

John won the first game, but Elvis took the win in the second! We hear they are already planning a rematch.

We held a Walk and Talk event, to get to know others from around the Trust, at the Arnolfini last week as two people we support are now exhibiting artwork as a part of the Art in Motion Exhibition! The group viewed this and then toured Emma Talbot's exhibit 'Everything is Energy'. What a treat!

Last week, we held an internal trainers conference. This was a great opportunity for staff from across the Trust who are involved with training to get together, learn, and share knowledge. It was a successful day of professional development, skill building and networking for #TeamMilestones!

Everyone was in high spirits at the Stepping Forward Christmas party! There were fun games, a raffle to be envious of, festive tunes (including a spot of Christmas karaoke!) and a surprise visit from a certain Mr. Claus complete with presents! It really is the most wonderful time of the year 🎁🎄🎅

Fantastic to see that Nnena Kalu has won this year's #TurnerPrize, making her the first artist with a learning disability to do so! A fantastic achievement, and very well deserved - take a look at her art at www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXPE...

It's officially Christmas season🎄Mark, from one of our services in Yate, is already in the spirit!

He's been on many holidays this year and still has one more to go. He has also taken regular train journeys and settled into a routine with his key worker, with dinner at a burger van every Saturday!

People we support in #WestonSuperMare enjoyed the #Dismaland exhibition at #WestonMuseum on Friday, taking time out to create some art of their own, including Banksy-style stencils! We think they turned out just great!

Chris went to the Aerospace Museum and spent almost 3 hours exploring the exciting exhibits! 

First up was a full English, then he boarded the last Concorde for a hands-on journey through aviation history. 

Finally, a stop at the souvenir shop for a new branded wallet and water bottle. What a day!

Rob, one of the people we support, is currently on a cruise around the British Isles. So far he has been spending time visiting the art gallery, going to shows, and enjoying lots of delicious food and drink! Bon voyage Rob! 🛳️
